How can I use this PHP array?

Question

I used to use the function below for an array or IP's but now I have changes the IP array from this:

$bannedIPs = array('127.0.0.0','72.189.218.85'); // Banned IPs array

ipban($bannedIPs);

function ipban($bannedIPs) {
    if (in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $bannedIPs)) { 
        include ("site_banip.php");
        session_destroy();
        exit;
    }   
}

to this:

$config_item['bannedIPs'] = array('127.0.0.0','72.189.218.85'); // Banned IPs array

ipban($config_item['bannedIPs']);

function ipban($bannedIPs) {
    if (in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $bannedIPs)) { 
        include ("site_banip.php");
        session_destroy();
        exit;
    }   
}

Now I cannot get it to work though,

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in C:\webserver\htdocs\includes\functions.inc.php on line 948

Is it possible to do what I am trying to do?

Was that meant to be a reply to my answer? Are you sure you're updating the right page? It doesn't seem to be throwing an error for my local page. — meder omuraliev

Is your code exactly as shown here? Might the 'bannedIPs' array be overwritten somehow? — andho

change the second argument to be $config_item['bannedIPs'] and pass the $config_item to the function.

Are you sure you're passing in an array in your real page?

Ahh I just changed a lot of code around to use different classes and turned out the particular page with that array var is not included, sorry and thanks

Use something like this, it will be very flexible in the future if you need to add more IPs.

$whitelist = array(
    // ".*.32.255.255", // Sample
    // "63.76.53.255", // Sample
    // "46..*..*..*", // Sample
    // "46.32..*..*", // Sample
    // "46.32.255..*", // Sample
    // "46..**.255.255", // Sample
);

foreach($whitelist as $ip)
{
    if (ereg($ip, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
    {
        include ("site_banip.php");
        session_destroy();
        exit;
    }
}

Please do not use the ereg*-functions (POSIX). As of PHP 5.3.0 this extension is deprecated - use the preg_*-functions instead (PCRE).
